Sneakiness, manual dexterity, making the story sound fun and not creepy&#8230;the tooth fairy struggle is real. The most important thing to keep in mind is that the tooth fairy is an opportunity to talk to your child about their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.castlerocksmiles.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">oral health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They think they\u2019re having fun, but a great tooth fairy will always sneak in some lessons about keeping teeth healthy. <\/span><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">True Tooth Fairy Tales<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any dentist will tell you, talking to parents about their tooth fairy fails is one of the best parts of the job, and experienced parents will tell you laughing at their mistakes made being the tooth fairy as fun for them as it was for the kids. Being a tooth fairy probably won\u2019t be easy, but if you keep your sense of humor about it, it will definitely be fun. Some of the hilarious all true tooth fairy tales we\u2019ve heard include gems like these: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I forgot to make the tooth fairy exchange. I told my daughter the tooth fairy called and said she was out of town and would bring her money tomorrow. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My five year old said he saw the tooth fairy and it was 6 feet tall with pointy nails.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My older daughter told her little sister the tooth fairy eats their teeth!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ran out of cash, so the tooth fairy gave my son a used Starbucks giftcard. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tips for Improving Your Tooth Fairy Game<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re new to the tooth fairy game, there are a few basics you need to tackle before you get started, including the following tips to up your tooth fairy game:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set an alarm or have a friend or family member give you a call, so you don\u2019t fall asleep and miss the tooth fairy\u2019s window of opportunity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get your fibs ready in case you get caught! For instance, if your child sees you sneaking into the room, say you\u2019re trying to catch the tooth fairy. If you get caught with your hand under the pillow, say you were making sure the tooth fairy came. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to choosing a dollar (or cent) amount for your child\u2019s tooth, the decision should be based less on the going rate of teeth and more on your own child\u2019s personality. You want to find the perfect amount to make losing teeth seem like a fun and not scary event while not giving kids so much money they yank their teeth out before they\u2019re ready!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meet Dr. Benzley <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your trusted tooth fairy trainer, Laney Benzley, DDS, and the whole team at Castle Rock Smiles are here to help if you need our assistance talking to your little ones about the tooth fairy, their oral health, or any other tooth related topics.
